Mourning

Today is the second
anniversary of my father’s death. My friends Gary Verberne and Jane West gave
me a bottle of very good whisky for my last birthday and later tonight I will pour
a glass and toast my father. He was a good man. Born in Piopio on 29 August 1923, died in Tauranga
on 26 February 2011. He went at the right time for him but it’s still a bugger.

It's 14 and 12 years respectively since my father and mother died and it's still a bugger. I often find myself wanting to share something with them or ask them something - so many questions I never thought to put to them.
